Sky Sports reports Borussia Dortmund will have Nico Schlotterbeck and Konstantinos Karetsas for their game against Werder Bremen on Friday evening. The duo were doubts after playing for Germany and Greece during the international break.

The center-back returned to Dortmund early due to a minor injury, while Karetsas was feeling a little bit under the weather. Swedish international Daniel Svensson was also a doubt due to illness, but Sky confirmed he’s also in the squad for the return of the Bundesliga action.

Meanwhile, Julian Ryerson and Carney Chukwuemeka are unavailable for selection. The Norwegian had to be substituted twice during the international break, while the Austrian midfielder returned with some minor muscular problems.

Dortmund will hope to extend their winning start to the Bundesliga campaign as they face a Bremen side that lost 7-0 to Twente in a friendly.
